Breast pumps and related supplies do count as deductible medical expenses according to this 2011 IRS notice.

 

You can deduct these on Schedule A (Itemized Deductions) if they exceed your standard deduction for your filing status, along with other thresholds. If the expenses on your Schedule A do not exceed your standard deduction, TurboTax will recommend the standard deduction. Here's how to make the entries:

  1. With your return open, search for Schedule A and then select the Jump to link in the search results.
  2. Answer Yes on the Did you have any medical expenses in 2019? screen.
  3. Enter your medical expenses on the following screens.
